Rewriting sits between editing and ghostwriting. The writer first diagnoses the draft: where the structure sags, which scenes do not earn their place, where the argument or plot loses the reader. You agree a plan, and then the writer rewrites to that plan rather than starting from scratch.
Because the book is already yours, voice retention is the priority. The writer studies your best passages and uses them as the benchmark, so the rewritten chapters sound like the strongest version of you.
